• 1. Pick up the Pieces Part 1

  Playtime is done. Here are ways to make the cleaning up fun. Remove small pieces of moist Play-Doh Compound from your work surface -- and even some carpets -- by gently pressing a larger piece of moist Play-Doh Compound against them and lifting them away.

• 2. Pick up the Pieces Part 2

  Dry pieces of Play-Doh Compound can generally be picked off of hard surfaces. DO NOT USE SOAP AND WATER, as that will make them dissolve and become harder to remove.

• 3. Cleaning Carpets

  If Play-Doh Compound gets into the carpet, let it dry. When it's dry, loosen the pieces with a stiff brush, then pick them up by hand or with a hand-held or regular vacuum. DO NOT WET THE Play-Doh COMPOUND. DO NOT USE HOT WATER OR CLEANING SOLUTIONS.

• 4. Keep a Lid on It

  Store Play-Doh Compound in the can with the lid completely closed. If left exposed, Play-Doh Compound will eventually dry out.

• 5. Take a Picture...It Lasts Longer

  Your child creates a masterpiece you want to cherish, but Play-Doh Compound creations will eventually dry and crack if left out. Preserve your child's work of art by taking a photo of it. That way you can admire it always. You can even post it the Play-Doh Facebook page for your friends and family to see!

• 6. Engage Your Child

  Turn cleaning up into a game. Ask your child to find all the blue pieces and put them in a can, then all the mixed-color pieces and put them in a can, and so on. Sing a song while you do it to make the time pass even more quickly. Make it a race to get it done even faster.
